How do I connect the 5820XL to central station monitoring using the built-in DACT?
0
To connect the 5820XL to a central station, you must use the built-in dual phone line DACT connected to two RJ31X jacks. The system must be wired upstream of all other telephone equipment to ensure priority signaling during an alarm.
-
Connect two phone lines to the panel using RJ31X jacks (Page 1) [1].
-
Wire the lines so the FACP is upstream of all other premise telephone equipment (Page 2-2) [1].
-
Enable phone line monitors for both lines in the panel programming (Page 2-3) [1].
-
Program the central station phone number and an automatic daily test time (Page 2-3) [1].
-
Set the AC Loss Hours to 1-3 hours and Attempts to Report to 5 (Page 2-3) [1].
-
Select a compatible reporting format, such as SIA or Contact ID, for the dialer outputs (Page 8-18) [1].
